Congratulations

If i were in your shoes, I would not use my car......... Your vehicle does not have instructor's pedal fitted........

That instructor's pedal, is your examiner's life insurance....... Without it, your examiner would feel exposed like a fish, out of its pond........ 😁

The examiner would inspect your vehicle, and would fail it, for the slightest reason....... Just pay about £100 and use an instructors vehicle..........

Preshyi:
Abeg e be like say my driving instructor wan run me street. She is charging me £150 for using her car on test day and an extra £30 for an hour prep before the test. I feel like she wants to rip me off. Please is this rate normal in London.

koonbey:


The discussion is about UK, not US. Unclear what the relevance of the point you think you've made but won't engage further as you're already defaulting to insults (as has always been typical for these discussions) which I can't join in with.

Amarathripple0:

Like I’m just weak, someone here went to like my post on a different thread from Sept 2021 where I spoke about waiting for my CAS and then came back to this thread to speak loosely on my credit history as if that has anything to do with the question I asked.

dustydee:

I am genuienly surprised at some of the comments about your issue. Please do not be deterred and follow it up. You have a very good case and moreover what you are asking for is just an acknowledgement of wrong from them. Maybe because I have undergone GDPR training that's why it's easy for me to see the wrong here.

Can someone bring palm oil from Nigeria? I thought they won’t allow it to fly. If yes, how did they do it. Thank you for the suggestion. Really appreciate

My passport arrived on Monday. My UK immigration history has finally come to a fruitful end.

Facebook i no get power to buy anything but let me play devil advocate here

What of Rental in this country that comes fully furnished house or Hotels or staycations we stay in ...... when you get to hotel how do you address Body fluid or that the mattress is definitely not first sleeping

brine:
BTW,
I lent a female friend £2k for her to add to her POF around August last year. The money was SOLELY for proof of funds and she even suggested that we could draft and agreement but I wasn't having any of that(silly). She messaged me today that she didn't get the visa and with all the plenty talks, she didn't even mention anything about my money . I was shocked by her response when I asked her for the money since there wasn't any need for her to still keep hold of it. She said she paid the money to an agent to forge bank statements as the money I sent and about N500k were all she had(What she got from the Uni was more like part scholarship). Then she also paid the agent some other fees. Long story short, she has given my money to the agent BUT I don't need to worry as the agent promised to return the money back to her in the next few months and she'll definitely send it back to me when she gets the reimbursement No apologies, but black people don't even rate their fellow black people and some people come here to talk BS about Nigerians not helping their fellow Nigerians.

Bluetherapy:
babajeje123 one advise I have for you is to pump the brakes a little bit.

Summary: try shelf all plans and focus on saving for PSW visa life. You will be very very frustrated if you don't put your house in order. If you wan catch rat, you go behave like rat. Divert the attention to what your immediate family needs (paying house rent, childchare) not what your external families need.

You're on student visa and I believe you should be focusing on saving for the after studies life. You probably have given her the wrong impression with the fact that you hustled the money and could fund bringing her down from Nigeria and also paying for quarantine hotel.

Try to put other plans on pause and map out how to solidify your stay here. You can start by letting her know that you have put aside the plans on bringing your mum. Then mention everything that needs to be done to solidify your stay in terms of IHS surcharge, PSW visa fees and the likes. Brainstorm together how to go about it in terms of savings because you need to pay those fees to stay back here.

Enlighten her about the finances that comes being an immigrant in the UK. Probably the reality would hit and change her perspective. You might not he able to achieve this if you don't pump the brakes on how much you disburse out (to other family members)except you had prior savings from Nigeria. Don't portray it to her like it's easy to make this £. Encourage her to get a job probably the reality will dawn on her.

You're clearly working over the permitted limit and you should really be careful with that.

TheGuyFromHR:


I presume you mean £13.89, not £31.89.
Tell your friend to go to the tv licensing website and check, because I think YouTube, as a streaming service, falls under the services for which a TV license is needed.

deept:


In another thread it was mentioned about how lots of hr in the UK are ignorant about immigration rules. If you have an application in you are still in status until your application has been decided. A couple of people between this post and yours have posted the link on how to check for status but these guys can be ignorant and still see the date on your current brp as the cut off date for you. All you can do is try to educate them about this but I don't think there is anything you can do if they remain adamant.

If you can afford it go the super priority route where you get your decision the next working day £800 o think it costs or the priority route in 3 working days for £300 if I am correct. Its also difficult getting something new with an expired brp

evenda:
thank you very much.
do you by chance have the link for where they fill out this request, so we can direct them there?

thanks

evenda:
Hi, can someone please confirm this for me.
Hubby brp is due to expire on 4th jan, so we have applied and have appt om 4th jan.
One is his egencies for work has told him they can't book him shifts from the 4th even after we have sent proof of appt.

was any1 here stopped from working whilst you waited for the new application to be completed? i searched online and saw a section 3c that basically states he can work whilst waiting a decision

anyone experienced same?

He's brother was on the phone and asked him what he was doing with a black kid.

I was broken because we do hang out and at that moment I thought I was just some black kid. Then I told him to his face that he's a racist. That's all. Dude punched me.

Hahaha

Nah, English exists as a common lingua franca to hopefully help us communicate clearly. That way the chances of ‘misreading’ a situation becomes quite slim. There is NO way I could have surmised from and I quote:

‘My Team and I are watching’ #Justsaying’ in response to a perfectly normal post that it was meant to be anything positive.

This thread exists to educate, inform, encourage (I hope), if you want to do so, do so. If anyone sends out wrong information and you know better, state it clearly so we can all learn. The poster missed a golden opportunity to educate us on aspects of food import that we may have benefited from. Telling us you are ‘Watching’ is supposed to help me how please?

Furthermore, if myself or anyone else who responded misunderstood the poster, there was AMPLE opportunity to clear it up quickly yesterday. But no.

I’ve sha promised someone I respect to drop the matter so I’m dropping it. Apologies accepted if the poster truly didn’t mean it. Cheers.

LagosismyHome:


If I misread you then thank goodness..... we need less of what I initially thought

Apologises for the gbas gbos ..

dustydee:

When I read his initial post, I didn't think it had any malice or intent to pull down her business. I didn't also think he accused her of illegal dealings. What I understood was him giving insider information that we should all be careful when importing things as the government is planning to scrutinise it more. That is what I understood.

KOVIC19COVID20:


Sincerely speaking, that was what I thought too. I thought you were only trying to suggest some subtlety.

LagosismyHome:


Oga or madam you are part of the problem we talked about recently. "pull down syndrome ". That is why Nigerians cannot collectively rise and be great together. You only been in UK barely 5 mins you are here forming Olokpa of Nairaland.

Aunty Priti Patel quietly signed a deal with India and Britain to agrees to accept more students and talented young immigrants into Uk in exchange for increased deportations ..... imagine this nonsense. Why is India special, most people if they catch you here illegally they deport you straight. Why does Indian have to have this special agreement. You can be sure the first part of taking in thousands will happen and the later part will be radio silence. But its their quiet way of raising their people

Secondly they quietly added occupation chefs in visa categories so that once they graduate and no job. They can quietly package themselves with visa for 5 years as a chef in an Indian restaurant. At least after 5 years it ILR for them that way they get to stay here.

Left right they are quietly putting policies to favour them and their strength will become in their numbers. Sadiq Khan it going to be hard to unseat him even as he doing rubbish here.... because of numbers of voters .

These are few examples...instead what do we have here. Mamatukwas minding her lane, never posted anything illegal apart from making me salivate with her mention of fish, egusi but you are forming officer of Nairaland

Welldone and continue watching .....

famzynet:


Dry fish is not contraband except if more than 20kg.

Mimzyy:
You’re on 2.5yrs visa and you’re already throwing threats here and there. If you now get PR nko, you’ll probably ask us to mind the air we breathe. A job that you ain’t guaranteed for life. Shiorrrrr.

Mamatukwas:


Commercially, Most carriers won’t carry even 1kg of it. You need a license to do so and very few people have it. In your personal luggage this might not apply (re:guidance)

However, (slides closer and whispers): You must be very careful. There are people close by with ‘teams’ watching our every move. And horror of all horrors their office seems to be 4 levels above M16. Even Scotland Yard is afraid of them (looks around furtively)….. If you’re not careful, they might come with badges and haul your ass in for attempting to smuggle in ‘dry fish’ (shudders). For them, the sin is not much different from bringing in cocaine through the borders. So please, watch your back, lock your doors, make sure you eat all your fish, don’t leave any traces. May heaven safe us (sprinkles holy water).

Good morning.

Very very unnecessary subtle threat.
